Day 1;
My city is going fairly well actually. My improvements that need to be made are, to expand my city a little wider. The three cities that have no grid pattern are, Paris France. The second one is London, England. Most of them are in Europe. The third and final city that hasn't have any grid pattern is, Egypt. Here is also a picture of my city so far.


Day 2; My city is doing pretty well once again. The only things I need to work on is getting my town, a marina, a zoo, and a stadium. All the extra things I need to give them. So far I haven't heard many complaints besides that. I might need to work my money shortage. I usually have anywhere from 5000- 11,000. Anyways that's what going on in my city really.

Day 3;
Today my power plant almost exploded, cause it was aging pretty fast. & I wasn't doing anything about it. So I saved my city from going into mayhem & chaos. Other than the usual, I expanded my city. So other than that my city is going alright. I still need to fix my education & pullution rate. But anyways.

Around A.E Burdick School there is mainly a lot of Residential as in the Single Family zone. This might be because in order for people to live in the city there has to houses in that area to surround it, otherwise it wouldn't have any business or it wouldn't be considered as a place to live. So, if there was no residential around Burdick School that means they wouldn't get business because family's aren't going to travel all that way to send their child to a school, instead they could just put them in a school around their neighborhood. Another thing I saw around the school was many major streets. Major streets were probably built around a school so people can transport from one place to another without confusion and it makes convenient for the parents or buses that have travel to the school and back everyday to pick up their child. I also noticed some pink area which would be considered as the local businesses. One more thing I saw around A.E Burdick School had some Industrial which will help supply the community with different products and goods that the city needs to function and stay satisfied. All of these colored areas in the picture above represent all of the sections of the community that are very important for the community to stay functional. Without Residential the community wouldn't have any form of a population because since there would be no houses built then that means there wouldn't be anyone living there. Also, if there was no Industrial then there would be no people working in the community and therefore the community would be a lost cause.

Day 4; My city is doing really good. I finally put in trains, & stuff. I think when I have enough money, I'm going to put in a better power plant, because my pollution rate is terrible. My crime rate is pretty low. My education rate is like 90% so I'm not really satisfied with that.
I'm trying to put in a marina, and stadium & stuff like that, so my citizen don't get bored. So here's a picture of my city:

According to this website this is how a hydrogen power plant works. Link
Large tanks of liquid hydrogen will feed into thousands of hydrogen fuel cells. These fuel cells are solid structures containing an electrolyte fluid and two terminals, much like batteries. The reactants flow into the cells, in this case hydrogen and oxygen. They intermingle with the electrolyte to produce an electrical charge and water as a byproduct. The water flows out another port while the electricity is siphoned off the terminals and held in gigantic multi-ton batteries. The electricity resides in the batteries until it is needed, in which case it is sent out through the local power grid just like any other type of power plant. In theory, this could be a near perfect source of energy as it has no dangerous byproducts and is just as fuel-efficient as the average internal combustion engine. The biggest problem is, and always has been, obtaining cheap supplies of hydrogen.

Day 5;
My city is still expanding. I put in more oil & solar power plants. But my age rate is like 59 right now, but hopefully that will increase along with my education, and such things. Right now I have like 10,000, which is a little disappointing. I try to save as much money as I can. My tax rate was 7% but I increased it to 9%. Anyways thats whats happening so far.

Lake Michigan flows into Milwaukee Water Works treatment plant. When it comes in, it goes through Ozone Disinfection. Ozone destroys disease causing bacteria in the water and also controls odor and taste. Then, the water goes through the coagulation process. Particles in the water adhere together to form larger particles as the coagulant alum is mixed into the water. Next the water goes through a process called settling. This is where solid particles settle out and are removed from the water. The water will now be filtered through 24” of anthracite coal and 12” of crushed sand. This is done to remove all of the smaller particles. After it is filtered chlorine is added as another disinfectant. It provides extra protection from harmful microorganisms. After the water has been disinfected it goes through fluoridation. Fluoride, when administered at low levels, is proven to help tooth decay. The water is stored in deep underground tanks. Before it comes to you it goes through two final steps, chloramine protection and corrosion control. Corrosion control helps prevent lead and copper from leaching from plumbing into the water. In chloramine protection ammonia changes the chlorine to chloramine. Chloramine is a disinfectant that maintains bacteriological protection is the distribution system. Finally, the water is pumped as needed through the distribution system.

Day 6;
Today, My life expectancy is 63. Its very disappointing. My education rate is 90%. But some good new is I extended my city, and put in a marina and stadium & stuff, so thats a plus. I even got up to like 42,000. Before I was in the 15,000- 20,000 range. Now I really need to get my education rate & life expectancy higher.
